ScentOakmoss

Oakmoss is a pale-green lichen that grows by symbiosis on the bark of
both deciduous trees and conifers, primarily on oaks. It is harvested in
cool and damp forested regions in Central Europe and around the
Mediterranean Sea. The rootless plant hangs from the trunks and branches
in bushy clusters, with a length of about three centimetres. Oakmoss has
a deep and earthy scent, with fresh spicy tones and a hint of bark. It
has been used in perfumery since the 16th century and is one of the
essential ingredients in classic chypre and fougère fragrances, both
forest-like with woody accords. Oakmoss is often a counterpoint to
floral and citrus notes and, on its own, it is reminiscent of foliage
and damp soil.
